Shortlist

Sands is the stillbirth and neonatal death charity. We operate throughout the UK, supporting anyone affected by the death of a baby, working to improve the care bereaved parents receive, and promoting research to reduce the loss of babies’ lives.

Sands is looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead on the delivery of the National Bereavement Care Pathway
(NBCP) project in Scotland. This pathway addresses the inequity of bereavement care offered to, and experienced
by parents when a baby dies.

This is a high-profile and rewarding role which will involve delivering a NBCP in Scotland which is parent-centred
and drives up standards of care, and supporting the delivery of other national programmes as appropriate.

With demonstrable experience of planning, delivering, managing and evaluating projects at a national level, you will
be able to reach-out, engage and enthuse key stakeholders across Scotland.

You will have excellent verbal and written communication skills, including experience of drafting detailed plans,
reports and briefings.

With outstanding team-working skills and a highly collaborative working style, you will ensure that the promotion of
best practice in bereavement care for families is prioritised, embedded in national frameworks and rolled out
across Scotland.

You will need to have good budget and time management skills, as well as the ability to identify and manage the risk
and issue process.
